[ANSWERED] Attacking while moving: an class doing it? ==> side casting or non magic class

[Browser_ice]

Hi, currently I am a conjurer and it bothers me a bit that if I move sideways my attack gets interrupted.

Are there any class that won't interrupt my attack if I move?

[FreshMint]

This is pretty much a cast time thing, which means you'll see it on a lot of mages (Especially black mage!).
Some of those (namely summoner) get pretty light on cast times on higher levels, but otherwise if you want to be able to move freely its best to play any nonmagic classes.

Tank, melee and ranged physical don't have casts outside of I think one Reaper and one Samurai ability. I probably forgot something but in general they don't have them.

Everything else, healers and ranged magic all have casts. Summoner has the least amount of any of those two categories.

[Kazzybun31]

any class with a cast timer will get interrupted if you move or take damage, dancer, archer/bard and the tank classes don't tend to have cast timers.

Since you are only Lvl 30 yet, gladiator, marauder, archer, pugilist and lancer and rogue are classes which don't get interrupted while attacking and which you can use right now.

Just wait until max level. You'll be healing almost exclusively with instant casts, although your dps will still be rooted.

Slide castng won't get you interrupted. By that i mean you can start moving at a certain part of your cast bar.

[Drakzen]

Melee dps and ranged phy dps have no cast times.

Yes, and those jobs are considered 'slide casters'.
The only two that I know of is the AST and the RDM that can move and cast because they are instant casters, which is the only reason they can do this.

This is not how slide casting works and AST and RDM are not pure instant casters. Slide casting can be done by any class and happens when you move about 0.5s before the cast ends. RDM and AST have several tools that lets them instant cast often, but not always

there is a class redmage which can cast instant but healing spell is only 1 , as for better healing class ill say sage class has few timming cast and rest are instant

[Acoustic Stoner]

look at your hotbar when it greys out while your casting. moving early will cancel the spell, however when it lights back up while casting you can move. (slide casting)
Conjurer is probably the most reliant on slide casting.

[terror923]

If your casting you basically cant move while casting, some cast abilities are instant you can move when doing those.

thx, I can now side cast but I have to check my surrounding to not be stuck between a rock and a MOB

[hagare]

any classes that don't use casting.
When you see a bar don't move. At least until it's safe to to slide cast

ah, the eternal dilemma of casters

[causality]

Can't move during TCJ or the ability interrupts. Ninja is literally more of a caster than slide casting casters.
